Synopsis

With the holidays over and the long cold winter looming, January can be a bleak month in Minneapolis. So what better way to bring a little cheer to the good people of the city than by sponsoring an old-fashioned snowman-building contest? In a matter of hours, a local park is filled with the innocent laughter of children and their frosty creations. But things take an awful turn when the dead bodies of police officers are discovered inside two of the snowmen—sending the entire department and Detectives Magozzi and Rolseth on high alert.

The next day, Iris Rikker, the newly minted sheriff of rural Dundas County, comes across another body in another snowman. Fearing that Rikker’s inexperience will hamper the investigation, Magozzi and Rolseth head north—in a blizzard—to hunt for clues. As Grace MacBride and her crack computer jocks at Monkeewrench comb the Web for connections, a terrifying link emerges, connecting the dead cops, Magozzi and Rolseth, and Monkeewrench—a link that must be broken before it’s too late.

From AudioFile:

The sharp-edged humor in this fast-paced mystery, in which snow is a major player, features Minneapolis Detectives Leo Magozzi and Gino Rolseth. Mel Foster is a clear narrator who easily portrays rookie Sheriff Iris Rikker of rural Dundas County, computer expert Grace MacBride, and various members of the Minneapolis PD. The darker developments of the double-murder investigation that takes place after the frozen bodies of two policemen turn up are rendered with dignity and empathy. Foster uses pacing, volume, and laconic, slightly humorous tones to capture the tension, emotions, and flow of this cleverly constructed and slightly bizarre procedural.
